Corinthians Fiscal Council president provisionally suspended | OneFootball

This Thursday (9), the president of Corinthians’ Fiscal Council (CF), Haroldo José Dantas da Silva, was precautionarily removed from office. The information was first reported by Meu Timão and confirmed by Central do Timão, which learned that the decision is based on possible conflicts of interest involving the council member and the club’s current administration.

Initially, Haroldo Dantas is expected to remain away from the position until the end of Osmar Stabile’s interim term, which ends in December of this year. According to the document accessed by Central do Timão, the measure aims to “preserve institutional integrity and the fairness of governance.” The precautionary measure will remain in effect while internal proceedings are underway in the Ethics and Discipline Committee of the Deliberative Council, based on Article 89 of the statute, which regulates the deadline for submitting a defense, currently being prepared.

The document, signed by rapporteur Ronaldo Fernandez Tomé, states that keeping the CF president in office poses a “concrete risk to the independence of the audit, oversight, and the credibility of the financial statements,” which must be published on the club’s communication channels by the end of April, as required by the General Sports Law.

In recent requests for judicial intervention sent to the São Paulo Public Prosecutor’s Office (MP-SP), the possible conflict of interest involving the president of the Fiscal Council and Corinthians’ executive board had already been pointed out. Members of the Voz Corinthiana Collective also highlighted the close relationship between Haroldo Dantas and president Osmar Stabile, since the council member acts as the private attorney for the chairman and his companies, which has raised questions about the council member’s independence and the proper exercise of his oversight role.

With the precautionary removal, the Fiscal Council will now be led by Claudio Luiz Senise as acting president, with Paulo Pimentel and Adilson Mendes as members, the latter previously serving as an alternate on the body, according to reports.

Haroldo Dantas had held the presidency of the Fiscal Council since the beginning of 2024, still under Augusto Melo’s administration, who was removed about a year and a half later. The body is tasked with independently overseeing, together with the Advisory Council (CORI), Corinthians’ administrative and financial matters.
